PREFACE. 



THREE articles, in relation to the Schuremans of New Jersey, 
were prepared by the present writer, in the year 1879, at the 
request of the editor of the New Brunswick Times, and they appeared 
in that journal. They were subsequently printed, in pamphlet form, 
in California. Thus the subject was revived, and, at the expense of 
Mr. Melanchthon Freeman Schureman, of Metuchen, New Jersey, 
a larger pamphlet was published. Much of the information it con- 
tained was at second hand, and an examination of some original rec- 
ords revealed serious errors. Recourse was then had to all original 
records that were accessible, and an extensive correspondence was 
had with members of the family, and this book is the outcome of 
such research and correspondence. 

Four portraits are given in this work. That of James Schureman 
naturally appears, for he was the most conspicuous of the family in 
public life, and one of his wife is given in connection with his. 
None is extant of Jacobus, the founder of the family, nor of his sons, 
John and Ferdinand. Melanchthon Freeman Schureman's is given, 
as that of a representative man, and because his interest and liber- 
ality made the publication of the first edition possible. The Com- 
piler gives his own, from the consideration that persons who care 
for the book would like to see the face of one whose interest in the 
subject, and whose patient enterprise, have resulted in the gathering 
of the material, and framing it into this genealogy. 

Brooklyn, N. Y., January, 1902.

INTRODUCTION. 



THIS book relates to Jacobus Schuurman, of the neighborhood 
of New Brunswick, New Jersey, 1720, and his descendants. 
The pronunciation of the name has been, always, Skureman : 
the spelling, in the older Dutch, was u e r, which was changed to 
u u r J and the name appears in Utrecht, Netherlands, with that 
spelling, at the present time. The name of Jacobus appears with 
the duplicate u ; and his son John was persistent in that spelling, to 
the time of his death, 1795 ; but James, son of John, gave up the 
struggle, and allowed his name to be Anglicized, by the use of 
ur e. A letter is in existence, from James Schureman to John Schuur- 
man, in which the former uses the English spelling, but conforms to 
the Dutch, in writing his father's name. 

In Germany, about the year 1300, appears Hermann Scureman, 
who held in fee a hide of land at Scheuren, near Dortmund, Ams- 
berg, Westphalia. Later on, Johann Schuremann held the same, 
and other possessions. In 137 1, at Arnsberg, Johann Schuyrmann 
was enfeoffed of various lands, among them the " Manse at Hol- 
land," for himself, as well as for his brothers, Everhard and Hinrich. 
From this line was descended the famous Anna Maria Schuerman, 
distinguished as a linguist, scholar, theologian, and accomplished 
woman.* The shield of this family was of Norman shape, argent, 
party per pale, with a label in chief, a fillet with four pendant points : 
/. e., it was a white, oval shield, with two horns and a peak at the 
top, and divided by a perpendicular line. The fillet and pendants 
indicate that it was the shield of the eldest son — not of the hoad of 
the family. Descent from this line is not claimed, for it has not 
been traced. 

The name in this line is found also at Antwerp, Cologne, and 
Utrecht. On the night of the 4th of October, 1564, Friderich von

Schurman, with his wife, who was of the family of the Barons of 
Lumey, Counts of la Marck, left Antwerp for Cologne, abandoning 
position and property, rather than give up his evangelical faith. On 
that day, the Duchess of Parma, Regent of the Netherlands, had 
caused to be stabbed and burnt, Christopher Smith, known as the 
Monk Fabricius, from the monastery at Bruges. Frederich, their 
son, in 1602, married Eva von Harf, of a noble family of Cologne. 
They had four children, the youngest of whom, Wilhelm, died in his 
sixth year. The eldest was Heinrich Frederich, born 1603, died 
1632. The second, Johann Gottschalk, was born in 1605, and died 
in 1664. He was an evangelical minister, and was carried by his 
zeal into Germany, and in 1661-62 to Basle, Switzerland, but re- 
turned to Utrecht. Anna Maria was born the 5th of November, 
1607, and died single, in 1678, at Wieuward, in Friesland, as a 
member of the Labadist community. Her father had died in 1623, 
and the mother removed the family to Utrecht, probably, because of 
the Thirty Years' War, which was devastating Germany. Anna had, 
at Utrecht, an elegant cabinet — edel pattd— which, was the resort 
of the learned and titled persons of Europe. The affianced Queen 
of Poland, Louise Marie Gonzaga, with an escort, called informally 
upon her ; and, in conversation, she responded in Italian to the 
Bishop of Orange ; in French to the Queen's secretary ; in Greek 
to M. Corrade, the Queen's physician ; and she carried on a dis- 
cussion on some point in theology, in the Latin tongue. It has not 
been ascertained whether either of her brothers was married.* 

In the United States of America, there is a line of Schuremans, 
earlier than the one which is the subject of this work. They are 
assumed to be descendants of Harmen Schuerman ; of whom the 
record following is found : — " 1649, June 3. Release of Harman 
Scheurman of all claim against Cornelis Maerson, deceased, on account 
of the purchase of a tract of land on Manhattan Island." f The correct 
spelling of this grantor's name would have been Harmen Schuerman. 
His children seem to have been known, at first, as Harmenzen ; and

one of them is assumed to have been " Frederick Harmenzen, van 
Bremen," who was a church member at New Amsterdam, in a list 
which began with 1649; and the wife of such Frederick was Christina 
Jans, who was received to church membership the 30th of August, 
1674. They had children baptized, 1659-74. The name appears, 
later, at New Rochelle ; from which place members of the family 
migrated to St. John, New Brunswick, in 1783, and thence spread 
into Prince Edward Island in 1784, in the person of William, who 
had married Jane Bonnet, in 1768, and from them is descended Dr. 
Jacob Gould Schurman, President of Cornell University. The 
British Provincials, of the new residence of the Schuermans, were 
ignorant of the Dutch language : and the e was dropped from the 
name, and the pronunciation was softened into Shureman.*

FAMILY I. 



I. Jacobus Schuurman : married Antje Terheun. He settled at 
Three Mile Run, near New Brunswick, New Jersey ; and, no doubt, 
he and his wife were members of the Dutch Church at Three Mile 
Run, and the record of baptism of their children was there probably, 
and the burying-place of that church is supposed to have received 
their bodies. The wife Antje was daughter of Albert Terheun, of 
Flatbush, L. I. ; and the marriage was in 1720, or early in 172 1, 

He was a schoolmaster, and voorleser, or prelector, and came, as 
such, in the company of Rev. Theodorus Jacobus Frielinghuysen, on 
the ship King George, Capt. Goelet. The latter preached in New 
York, 17th January, 1720 ; the arrival was, therefore, in that year, or 
late in the year previous. He entered at once on the duries of his 
pastorate over the churches on the Raritan, to which he had been 
appointed while he was in Holland, and settled down at Three Mile 
Run, and married Eve Terheun, sister to the wife of Schuurman. 
The Church at Raritan was organized in 1696 ; the one at Three 
Mile Run about the year 1703 ; and the one at New Brunswick, 
known as the " Church of Laurenz Brook by the River," in the year 
1717. The organization at Three Mile Run was abandoned about 
the year 1753.* No records of this church are in existence, 
except possibly incorporated with those of New Brunswick. The 
eariy records of the Six Mile Run church perished in the fire which 
consumed the house of David Nevius, (18). 

Frielinghuysen and Schuurman lived with Hendrick Reinersz. 
They settled nea r the small church building, then standing at Three

Mile Run. The graveyard, still in good condition, is near by. 
" Jacobus Schuurman " was received to church membership, on 
confession, the 15th of April 1720. He had some facility in writing 
Dutch verse, which he used in the defense of his pastor, from worldly 
attacks. He was chorister, and taught a school in the Dutch lan- 
guage.* Schuurman's first child, Ann, was born 10, Oct., 1721, if 
the statement of her age, and the date of her death, upon her tomb- 
stone, are correct. He had a child baptized 4, Apl., 1735, after 
which his name is not found ; unless he was the " Jacob Schuurman," 
who had a daughter, Maria, baptized 13th Jan., 1755. The 
mother's name was Maria. She was, probably, a Van Voorhees. f 
But this Jacob may have been son of Jacobus : the record of births 
and baptisms of the children of the latter is incomplete ; probably 
some of the baptisms were recorded at Three Mile Run, or Six Mile 
Run, now called Franklin Park.

2. Anne", b. 10, October, 1721, for the inscription upon her 
tombstone, in the yard of the First Dutch Church at New Brunswick, 
N. J., reads : " In memory of Ann Schureman who departed this 
life. May 25, 1800, aged 78 yrs, 7 mos, 15 days." This stone stands 
beside that of the widow of her brother Ferdinand. She was often 
a baptismal witness. (This inscription was copied, and was given 
to the Compiler, by Mrs. Sluyter, as if it were that of her grand- 
mother, Ann, wife of John Schuurman. Hence the error in the 
first edition of this genealogy.)

was son of John, a schoolmaster and resident of New Brunswick 
who was named in the will of his father, John, dated 24, June, 1732 
the executors of which qualified 4, October, 1733. The will di

f Archibald Thomson married, second, on the 5th August, 1760: 
Elizabeth Strycker. Their children were : Archibald A., the eldest, 
probably, who married 19, March, 1795, Mary Bordine, and died in 
1856 : Janitje, baptized 9, August, 1761 : Jacoba, baptized 16, July, 
1763 : Janitje, baptized 19, May, 1765 : Jacobus, baptized 3, May, 
1767 : and Pieter, baptized 20, May, 1770. The Manual of the Re- 
formed Dutch Church, 1879, — article "Rev. Frederick Bordine 
Thomson," says that Elizabeth was sister of Rev. Peter Strycker : 
but Peter was born 23, December, 1763, baptized 25, December, New 
Brunswick, and if he had a sister Elizabeth she was, probably, too 
young to be married in 1760. The only Elizabeth found within a 
probable period, was baptized 16, July, 1727, New Brunswick, who 
would have been aged 2>Zi ^t the time of Archibald's second mar- 
riage.

reads : Died July 6, 1795, aged dd years, 4 months, and 9 days : his

man ; and her grandsons, John and Peter Vredenburgh, children of 
her daughter Margaret, deceased. On the 2nd of May, 1803, William 
Van Deursen and James Schureman, of the City of New Brunswick, 
and John Thomson, of the State of New York, as executors, con- 
veyed to Johanna Dumont, a house and lot on the southerly side of 
New Street.* 

John Schuurman settled in New Brunswick, where he had a store- 
house on the Raritan River, at the foot of Dutch, now Schureman 
Street. It does not appear when he left Three Mile Run. A map, 
made in 1766, has John Schureman's name on the north side of the 
road, half-way between Middlebush and Millstone : but he may 
have owned without occupying that land. 

He was admitted to church membership at New Brunswick, 2, 
November, 1752, and was chosen Deacon, along with Archibald 
Thomson, 25, October, 1754. Their successors were chosen, 13, 
April, 1757. The churches of the Raritan group had been in- 
corporated, 7, June, 1753- The church building, which was then 
standing, at the corner of Burnett and Dutch Streets, had been erected 
about 1714 : and, in 17 17, it was determined that it should be " known 
as belonging to the people of Laurenz Brook by the River " : and 
that the people of Six Mile Run and Ten Mile Run, who were but 
one congregation, should be at liberty to erect a church building at 
either place, and to have their own consistory : but they were to 
remain one spiritual body with the one of Laurenz Brook : and the 
two consistories were to meet as one, on matters of importance. 
John Schuurman was an Elder of the church in 1765, and was ap- 
pointed chairman of the building committee in September of that 
year. The new building was erected in a new location, and was 
occupied in the autumn of 1767. The old lot was sold to John 
Schuurman. He was Elder again in 1 793, and on the 24th of August, 
he signed the call for Rev. Dr. Ira Condict, and he headed the sub- 
scription list. His successor in the eldership, Peter Vredenburgh, 
Sen., was chosen 5, April, 1795- " I" the church he was conspicuous

He was Trustee of the College, 1782-95, and its Treasurer 1780-90, 
1791-95- In the minutes, his name, as well as that of his son James, 
appears with the duplicated u and the r, without an e. And in the 
minutes of the Consistory his name is spelled the same way, 12, 
March, 1794, 5, April, 1795, and 2, May, 1795. 

John Schuurman was active and influential in the Revolutionary 
struggle. A few of the freeholders of Middlesex County met, at the 
Court-House, New Brunswick, 3, January, 1775, in pursuance of a 
notice of the 20 of December. They agreed that cities, towns, and 
districts should each choose a Committee of Observation and Inspec- 
tion, who should meet at New Brunswick, 16, January, and choose a 
Committee of Correspondence, for a limited period. John and Fer- 
dinand Schureman, from New Brunswick, David Williamson from 
South Brunswick, and Jonathan Combs from Windsor, were of the 
Committee of Observation : and Jonathan Combs and David Will- 
iamson were of the Committee of Correspondence. A Provincial 
Congress assembled at Trenton, 23, May, 1775. Among the depu- 
ties were Col. John Schureman and Col. David Williamson, who 
were members also of the Provincial House of Assembly. A Provin- 
cial Convention had met at New Brunswick 21-23, July, 1774, and 
had appointed a general Committee of Correspondence for the whole 
Province, with authority to call a Provincial Congress, whenever they 
should think it necessary. News of the Battle of Lexington had 
been received, 24, April, and on 2, May, the Committee had met at 
New Brunswick, and called the Congress. On the 3, June, the Con- 
gress adjourned to the 5, August, after having appointed a Committee 
of Correspondence, with authority to reconvene the Congress : John 
Schureman was of this committee. The Congress reassembled on 
5, August, and Lucas Schenck appeared in place of David Williamson. 
They provided for the election of deputies, on 21, September, to a 
Provincial Congress to be held at Trenton, on the 3, October. On 
the 17, August, the Congress adjourned to the 20, September, after 
having appointed a Committee of Safety, to exercise their powers 
during the recess : John Schureman was of this Committee of Safety. 
The Congress met, pursuant to adjournment, 20, September. The 
new Congress met 3-25, October. It was the policy of the times to 
change the deputies frequently ; partly to extend the responsibility,

Ferdinand Schuurman [6], (Jacobus'), born about 1731, it is 
supposed : died before June, 1782. Perhaps his death and burial 
were at some other place, while the British were in occupation 
of New Brunswick. His wife was Eleanor Voorhees. He was 
described as of Griggstown, Somerset County, cordwainer, in a deed 
dated 22, April, 1760, whereby he conveyed to Bamardus Gerritsen 
land at Middlebush, bounded on two sides by other land of Ferdi- 
nand.* He had five children, whose baptisms were recorded at Six 
Mile Run, 1754-63, and three at New Brunswick, 1766-72. He was 
an Elder of the Dutch Church at New Brunswick, 12, September, 
1765, when Philip French conveyed the land for a new church. He 
was probably a member of the Six Mile Run Church until about 1764. 
He took a determined part in the Revolutionary struggle, as well 
as his brother John. The freeholders of Middlesex County, who met 
at New Brunswick, 3, January, 1775, chose him as one of the Com- 
mittee of Observation and Inspection for New Brunswick, who 
should meet with the others at New Brunswick, 16, January, to choose 
a Committee of Correspondence for a limited time.f 

His widow, ** Neeltje Schuurman, widow of Ferdinant Schuur- 
man," was received to church membership, on confession, 28, June, 

1782. Her tombstone, in the yard of the First Dutch Church, New 
Brunswick, reads, " Eleanor, wid. of Ferdinand Schuurman, dep. 
this life July, 29, 1809, in her 89th year." Beside this tomb is that 
of her sister-in-law, Miss Ann Schuurman. Persistent efforts have

of this Ferdinand.

He was, in 1767, the only navigator between Amboy and New 
York ; and, in 1775, he commanded a packet plying between those 
places. The British carried off his sloop of thirty tons. He was 
First Lieutenant of Capt. John Lyle's (Lyell) Company, of the Third 
Regiment of Militia of Middlesex County.* It is said that he was 
made a prisoner, at the capture of Fort Washington, 16, November, 
1776. If so, he must have been exchanged very soon, for in the 
same year, or early in the one following, he was captured, along with 
his cousin, James Schureman [16], at Laurenz Brook, and was con- 
fined in the Sugar-House prison. New York, where he received kind- 
nesses from the Royalist, Philip Kisuyck, whose wife was a Jannetje

1745, New Brunswick, married William Van Deursen : and Lydia, 
baptized 3, July, 1747, Raritan, and not traced further. She is not 
mentioned in the Will of her mother, dated 1795. William and 
Antje (Stryker) Van Deursen had a son Staats (Stawts or Stahts), 

/baptized 13, June, 1773, New Brunswick; graduated at Queens 
College, 1791 ; married Joanna Schuyler, (see note to Family 9,) 
daughter of Abraham and Alida (Voorhees) Schuyler, and had a son 
WiUiam, the well-known physician, of New Brunswick, who married 
Eleanor Hendrickson. Eleanor's brother, Charles I., married Julia 
Schureman, No. 172. Joanna Schuyler's sister, Christina, married 
Peter Thomson, No. 27. 

Jacobus Stryker, b. 24, Aug., 1688, third son — the second died 
in infancy — of Pieter Janse and Annetje Barends, is supposed to 
have married Annetje Vanderbeek 17, December, 17 10. He re- 
moved from Flatbush, to Somerset County, N. J., and settled on 
land on Millstone River, purchased by his father. He is supposed 
to be the Jacob whose children were baptized at New Brunswick, 
with the mother's name Jannetje, namely : Jan., 12, June, 1720 ; 
Jacobus, 23, May, 1725 ; and Lisabeth, 16, July, 1727. (This 
Elizabeth may have been the second wife of Archibald Thomson.) 
This Jacobus, baptized in 1725, is supposed to have been the one 
who married Sarah Messelaer, and to have had children baptized at 
New Brunswick, namely : Jannetje, 14, September, 1755, m. 12, Oct.,

Stryker, which kindness he recognized in the naming of his youngest 
son. These prisoners escaped, soon after, and joined the American 
Army at Morris Plains.* 

The Captain's daughter, Jane, had married Conrad Ten Eyck, 
somewhere between 1790 and 1796, and they were living at Schenec- 
tady, where Ten Eyck was tutor in the High School. The Captain 
bought land at Aalplaats (Eel place), four miles from Schenectady; 
but did not remove to it at once, because he had not yet disposed of 
his land in New Jersey. This land, in New York, was occupied, in 
the summer of 1798, by John Thomson and wife, and Eliza Thom- 
son, children of the Captain. The Captain, and the remainder of 
his family, took possession in the autumn. This land must then 
have been included in Albany County, for the Captain is described, 
in a deed in 1801, as of Albany County. In February, 1802, he re- 
moved to land that he had purchased at Fonda's Bosch (woods), 
now Broadalbin (Breadalbane), Fulton County, some twenty miles 
from Schenectady, where he probably died. This land was on the 
east side of Fonda's Brook, about two miles from the Bosch. A 
stream of water ran through the land, on which he erected a saw- 
mill, lime-kiln, and grist-mill: the last became a paper-mill, and was 
consumed by fire. The Captain became financially embarrassed, and 
his health was poor, and his son-in-law, Rev. Dr. Perrine, bought the 
land, but allowed the Captain to occupy it, and his son, Isaac S., 
afterwards. The latter long afterwards bought the land, and, after 
him, it was occupied by his son, Samuel B. Thomson. 

The Captain's widow was living at Auburn, in February, 1827, 
with her daughter, Mrs. Perrine, and there Mrs. Catharine (Schure- 
man) Wynkoop [51] called upon her, and wrote of her as "Aunt 
Jane," that is, half-sister of her father. She died at Broadalbin, 
where she had been living with her son Isaac. 

The Captain and his wife, in 1801, made two deeds of land in 
New Brunswick. f

David," or, more properly, as Landgrave, according to the New 
Bruswick Fredotitan, of 15, August, 1885. Fatroon, seems to be 
more probable. Eleanor's grandparents, WilHam and Jannetje Wil- 
liamson were members of the church at Cranberry, and the former 
was an elder. William Williamson, uncle to Eleanor, had a daughter 
Mary, who married John Christopher Kocks. The Schuyler an-

He was graduated at Queens College, now Rutgers, and his name 
appears in the Catalogue in the lustrum 1771-75. Dr. Steele says 
that his graduation was about 1773, and that he was an accurate 
scholar.* The Committee of Safety of New Jersey, on the 10, 
January, 1776, appointed him Second Lieutenant, in Captain John 
Taylor's Company, in Col. John Neilson's battalion of minutemen.f 

The Provincial Congress of New Jersey, adopted an ordinance, on 
the 29th February, 1776, directing the incorporation of the minute- 
men into the militia companies of the districts in which they resided, 
respectively. This was because of the depletion of the ranks 
of the minutemen, by enlistments into the Continental service. J 
The records of the Adjutant-General's Office, Trenton, show that 
Schureman was a Second Lieutenant in the 2d Regiment of militia, 
Middlesex County, but do not give the date of appointment. John 
Neilson was colonel of this regiment. § 

On the 14th June, 1776, Schureman was appointed Lieutenant in 
Col. David Forman's Battalion, of Gen. Nathaniel Heard's Brigade 
of Jerseymen, known as " new levies," or " five-months-men." It 
seems that there were ensigns but no second-lieutenants in this or- 
ganization. As Schureman is called " captain," by Dr. Steele, and 
by the Cydopcedia of American Biography, it is probable that he 
was at some time in command of the company, and so obtained the 
title, by courtesy. Dr. Steele says further that it was chiefly owing 
to his example, and his pleadings at public meetings, that the com- 
pany, to which he belonged, was formed at New Brunswick, and 
that they served with great credit in the Battle of Long Island. || An 
effort was made, by the compiler of this genealogy, to trace the 
services of this company, battalion, and brigade, and the result will 
be given here. 

Catharine married John Perrine : and Lydia married Stephen Johnes. 
Her aunts married as follows : Mary, Matthew La Rue ; and 
Catharine, John Voorhees : and her uncle, Abraham Schuyler, Judge, 
married Alechi (or Alida) Voorhees, and had children, as follows : 
Alida, married to Andrew Ten Eyck ; Ellen, married to John 
Clarke ; Christina, married to Peter Thomson [27] ; Joanna, mar- 
ried to Staats Van Deursen ; Abraham, who died unmarried ; and

SCHUREMANS OF NEW JERSEY zi 

The Continental Congress, on the 3rd of June, 1776, called for 
thirteen thousand eight hundred men, of which the contingent from 
New Jersey would be thirty-three hundred men, to re-enforce the 
army in New York, and to serve until the first day of December. 
The Provincial Congress of New Jersey, on the 14th of June, de- 
termined that its quota should be raised by voluntary enlistment, in 
one brigade of five battalions, to consist of forty companies of 
seventy-eight men each. Forman's Battalion had Thomas Hender- 
son for lieutenant-colonel, and Samuel F. Parker for major, and con- 
sisted of four companies from Middlesex County, and four from 
Monmouth. The arrival of the forces of General Sir William Howe, 
off Sandy Hook, caused the marching of this brigade, in an incom- 
plete state, on the 25th of June. On the 8th of July, Gen. Na- 
thanial Greene ordered Colonel Forman's " Regiment," which he 
called " Jersey new levies," to occupy Fort Box and the Oblong Re- 
doubt : it seems that only a portion were so used. The former fort 
took its name from Brigade Major Daniel Box, of Nixon's Brigade : 
it was on Gowanus Cove, at the right of the defenses of Brooklyn. 
Next to it was Fort Greene : then the Oblong Redoubt : then Fort 
Putnam, on the Waalbogt. On the 4th of August, a detail was 
ordered from Col. Forman's "Regiment," to work, on the day fol- 
lowing, on Fort Sterling, which was on Columbia Heights, south of 
the Brooklyn Ferry. On the 9th of August, Brigadier-General 
Greene became Major-General, and his old Brigade fell to Colonel 
John Nixon, promoted. On the same day, the remaining battalions 
of Heard's Brigade were ordered to Long Island, to re-enforce Gen- 
eral Greene. On the i6th of August, Generals Nixon and Heard, 
of Greene's Division, were ordered to furnish a " fatigue party from 
their brigades, and to form the necessary lines from Fort Box to 
Fort Putnam." Early in August, Forman's Battalion had been rated 
at three hundred and seventy-two men ; but other men may have 
joined before the battle. 

The defenses on Long Island had been planned by General 
Charles Lee, and General Greene had continued the work upon them, 
and had made himself familiar with the topography. At the time of 
the fighting, he was sick and absent, and the command of his division, 
consisting of the brigades of Nixon and Heard, appears to have de- 
volved upon General Nixon, either by seniority or by direct assign- 
ment. On the night of the 23rd of August, the battalions of Forman 
and Johnson were sent to the coast road. Forman's Battalion, on 
the morning of the 27th of August, was at Fort Box. This fort seems 



3S SCHUREMANS OF NEW JERSEY 

to have been of diamond shape, and on or near the line of Pacific 

Street, Brooklyn, a short distance southeasterly from Bond Street, 

After the battle of the 27th of August, and by the 2nd of September, 

the army was recast into three grand divisions, or corps, under 

Generals Israel Putnam, Joseph Spencer, and William Heath. 

Greene's brigades, on account of his continued sickness, were 

assigned temporarily to Spencer, and they were on the line from 

Hoorn's Hoek to Harlem. About the 5th of October Greene was 

placed in command in New Jersey, near the Hudson River. On the 

15th of November he ordered Heard's Brigade to advance rapidly 

to the relief of Fort Washington : perhaps they were involved in the 

catastrophe. In November, Heard's Brigade was with Washington, 

at Newark beyond the Passaic. Colonel Forman was detached to 

repress a threatened insurrection in Monmouth County.* 

Early in the year 1777, Schureman, with his cousin John Thom- 
son [9] (previously a sea captain), was captured by the British 
cavalry, on Laurenz Brook, at what was afterwards Bergen Mill, 
three miles south of New Brunswick. They were confined, for a 
short time, in the guard-house, at New Brunswick, and then were 
transferred to the " Sugar House Prison," in New York City, on the 
southerly side of Liberty Street, east of, and near to Nassau Street. 
Philip Kisuyck, a Royalist, and a connection by marriage,— his wife 
was a Stryker,— furnished them with money, in order that they might 
buy food. They bribed the guard to give them the privilege of the 
yard ; and one night, having bestowed upon the guard liquor con- 
taining laudanum, they dug their way through the wall, and escaped 
to what was then the upper part of the city, and in a small boat, with 
one oar, they paddled over to Pouel's Hoek, whence they went to 
the Patriot army, at Morristown.f 

On the 26th of October, 1779, Lieut.-Col. John Graves Simcoe, of 
the Queen's Rangers, made a foray from Amboy, and burned stores 
at Bound Brook, whale-boats and the church at Raritan, and the 
court-house at Hillsborough, now Millstone. Word was sent to 
New Brunswick, and Col. John Neilson advanced with the 2nd 
Regiment of Midd lesex militia to Raritan Landing, and detached

Captain Moses Guest, with thirty-five men, to harass the foe on the 
march. Guest set an ambush, and Simcoe's horse was shot and fell, 
and Simcoe was stunned. A bayonet thrust would have finished 
him, but Schureman turned aside the weapon, and took Simcoe 
prisoner.* 

He was a representative in the General Assembly of New Jersey, 
in 1783, 1784, 1785, 1788, and a member of the Senate and Council, 
in 1808, 1810, and i8i2.f In the year last named he was Vice- 
President of the Council, which office corresponded with the presi- 
dency of the Senate. J 

In September, 1786, he was one of the three delegates from New 
Jersey, to the Convention of delegates from six States, which met at 
Annapolis. This convention was proposed by Virginia, to formulate 
better trade relations. It recommended a new call, with a view to 
representation of the States which had failed to send delegates : and 
then adjourned. The constitutional convention followed. § 

On the 7th of November, 1786, he was elected to the Congress 
the Confederation, from New Jersey. He served as such for two 
years, 1786-88.il He was a Representative in the first Congress 
of the United States, March 4, 1789-March 3, 1791 ; and in the 
fifth Congress, May 15, 1797-March 3, 1799. He succeeded John 
Rutherford in the Senate of the United States, December 3, 1799, 
and served until 26th of February, 1801, when he resigned, because 
of the impending installation of Jefferson, as President. He re- 
appeared as a Representative, and served in the Thirteenth Congress, 
May 24, 1813-March 15, 1815. 

Schureman was a merchant at New Brunswick, and his house and 
store were on Burnet Street, at the foot of Schureman Street, which 
was re-named from him. He was Mayor of the city, 1801-13, and 
1821-24. While he held the office, he deemed it necessary to tear 
down a building, to stay a conflagration, and he shouted through a

trumpet, — " Down with that building ! " There was hesitation ; but 
some one said, " That 's Schureman's voice," and the building was 
torn down forthwith. 

His name appears as Elder of the Dutch Church, 15, September, 
1817, and 18, April, 1819, to fill vacancies. He was trustee of 
Queens College, 1782-1824; Secretary of the Board, 1784-93; 
and Treasurer, 1 795-1813 ; and his name appears in the minutes 
with the duplicate u and an r. But he signed his name with the 
letters 21 r e. 

Rev. Dr. Isaac Ferris, who, in his student days, was an inmate of 
Schureman's house, said of him : " Mr. James Schureman was a 
noble specimen of a man, highly intelligent and judicious, and 
possessed of general influence, and of large and liberal views. He 
had seen much of public life, in honorable positions, and was quali- 
fied for the leading place which others assigned him." * 

He purchased, in 1783, a place at One Mile Run, which remained 
in the family more than one hundred years, and was occupied, in 
succession, by his sons James and WiUiam, and by James, son of 
William. 

Mr. Schureman was a man of native dignity, of some reserve, and 
of prompt and determined energy. A biographical sketch of him is 
given in Appleton's Cydopcedia of American Biography. 

A portrait of him, with the date " 1806 " on the back, is in the 
possession of the Compiler ; also a companion portrait of his wife. 
They are supposed to have been painted by Bass Otis, or Washington

County, and ministered to the church at that place, and the one at 
Owasco Outlet, called also Sand Beach, until 1826, after which he 
was without charge. In the year 1819, in the course of a revival, he 
preached a free and unlimited atonement, and caused a stir in his

laid the subject before classis, which declined to discipline him, hold- 
ing that there was room,within the church, for a difference of opinion on 
the subject, and their action was sustained by the Particular Synod.*

FAMILY 26. 

John Schureman, Rev. Dr. [43], (James/* John/ Jacobus '), born 
19, October, 1778, at a place near New Brunswick, N. J., to which 
his parents had retired, when the British occupied New Brunswick ; 
baptism recorded at New Brunswick, 15, November, 1778, " Schuur- 
man " : died 18 May, i8i8, at New Brunswick, of typhoid fever ; 
married 11, May, 1802, Julia Anne Conover, born 11 July 1781, 
died 24, May, 1834, daughter of Col. Elias Conover, of Monmouth, 
N. J., and of Anne Fish, of Long Island. The name Conover was, 
originally, Koenhoven. 

The Doctor's " father was called much from home in the public 
service of his country, and the charge of the son's education devolved 
chiefly on his pious and venerable grandfather." He was graduated 
from Queens College, 3, September, 1795, and studied theology with 
Rev. Dr. John H. Livingston, at New York, and was licensed in 1801 : 
he was pastor at Bedminster, N. J., 1801-07 ; of the Hillsborough 
Church, at Millstone, 1807-09: the Collegiate Church, N. Y., 1809-11: 
and the New Brunswick Church 1813-15. He had never been in 
robust health, and the pastoral charge at New York was too much for 
his physical strength ; so he accepted the Vice-Presidency of Queens 
College in 181 1, and retained it until his death. He was professor 
of Moral Philosophy and Belles-Lettres, 1813-18, and also of Eccle- 
siastical History, and Pastoral Theology, in the Seminary, from 18 15 
to 1 818. He was one of the trustees of the College from 1800 until 
1818. The College of New Jersey, as well as Queens, made him 
A.M., in 1801, and Columbia College in 1816 conferred on him the 
degree of S. T. D. While he was pastor of the church at New Bruns- 
wick, he was instrumental in healing discords, which had existed for 
some time : but feeble health compelled him to give up that pastorate. 
His characteristics were, amiability, solidity, and Christian discretion ; 
and he was greatly beloved and trusted. He was simple, clear, direct, 
and logical, and he sustained himself among some of the most popular 
ministers of New York City. He was rising in usefulness, influence, 
and reputation, at the time of his death.*

baths free, he preached at Ghent also, for seven years. He was 
zealous in the organization of new churches, and is credited with the 
forming of the one at Hudson. His ministry was abundantly blessed 
with the increase of the church, and he labored energetically, in 
preaching, visiting, and conversing. He was distinguished as a re- 
vivalist, and took part in six extensive revivals. He had a fine pres- 
ence, and a military bearing, and he was a good singer. He was 
Chaplain of the old 47th Regiment, with rank from 31, August, 1831, 
under commission, dated 5, August, 183 1, signed by Enos T. Throop,

In 1838, he was appointed one of the associate justices of the Su- 
preme Court of New Jersey, for a term of seven years, and served 
also a second term, after which he resumed the practice of the law, 
in Jersey City, where he spent the last six years of his life. Rev. 
Dr. Isaac Ferris said of him: "My fellow boarder, at his uncle's, 
was James Schureman Nevius, the most cheerful and vivacious of 
young men, always ready for a joke, and never behind in a repartee, 
and, at the time, a keen, discriminating, young lawyer."* His 
reputation as a judge was good, and he was never suspected of bias. 
He commanded the respect of the Bar, and won the confidence of 
the juries. He was beloved in all his circuits, as he was in his own 
home. He was fond of anecdote, and possessed of a pleasant humor, 
which was provocative of smiles and laughter. The present writer 
found him something of a tease. His perception of evangelical 
truth was clear, and in his latter years he was steadfast in religious 
devotion.

some connection in business, at Binghamton, with Col. E. F. Jones, 
who was afterwards Lieutenant-Governor of New York, and was 
known as " Jones — he pays the freight." In 1872, he took charge of 
the Hartford Coffee House, while his wife was interested in the 
Union for Home Work. He served in each branch of the common 
council, and was an alderman and one of the police commissioners 
when he died, as the result of being thrown from his horse, while 
assistant marshal, at the dedication of the soldiers' monument at 
East Rock. He was a man of great native force, and he was a droll 
talker, and used novel and quaint phraseology, which he rolled out 
with great volubility. His stories never lacked the dressing which 
an active imagination gives.

OF THE GENEALOGY. 

THE perpetuation of the Schureman name, in this line, rested in 
six young men at the time of the publication of this genealogy, 
namely: 922, Irving T., 923, Paul, 924, Frank, 935, Theodore W., 
937, Melanchthon Eugene, and 975, James P. Of these, 922 and 
937 died in the year 1904, unmarried. 

I. Jacobus Schi^iurman. He was born after 1693; for his com- 
panion, friend, and brother-in-law. Rev, Jacobus Frelinghuysen 
(1693-1748), describes himself, April 14, 1740, as aged 47;* and he, 
Schuurman, received, from the enemies of Frelinghuysen, the stig- 
matism of the "boy Schuurman." f It has not been discovered 
when he died, but it could not have been earlier than 1754, if it

was his child who was baptized at New Brunswick, N. J., January 
13? 1755 — Maria, parents Jacob Schuurman and Maria [Van Voor- 
hees]. However, this may have been his grandchild. 

He came to America, in the ship King George^ Jacob Goelet 
master, in company with Rev. Theodorus Jacobus Freliiighuysen, 
who was or became his friend. The latter preached in New York 
City, January 17, 1720,* and immediately after settled at Three 
Mile Run, N. J., which took its name from its distance from a 
landing on the Raritan River, which is now known as New Bruns- 
wick, named after the royal family of Great Britain, and he entered 
upon the ministry to the five churches on the Raritan. Schuurman 
settled in the same place, and they took as wives daughters of Al- 
bert Terhune. It was charged that he was inducted into church 
membership, and made schoolmaster, in ways which deserved criti- 
cism. Frelinghuysen was an evangelical Christian, and insisted 
upon definite faith, and practice in conformity with it. In this he 
was seconded by Schuurman, who was even more rigid than his 
pastor. There was deep affection between them, and this was made 
a subject of reproach. They labored and suffered together, and some 
account should be given here of Frelinghuysen. Whatever faults 
there may have been in his methods or his manners, it is now gen- 
erally agreed that he, Frelinghuysen, wrought an excellent work 
for the promotion of practical piety. He was born at Wolfenbuet- 
tel, East Friesland, Hanover, and was licensed at Embden, in 17 17, 
to preach. The Reverend Vincentius Antonides and Bernardus 
Freeman, under date of February 11, 1715, wrote to the Classis of 
Amsterdam that "The Dutch congregations very plainly are in- 
creasing every day. On the Raritan they are busy also in calling a 
minister." On June 5, 1718, " Rev. Matthias Winterwyck, minister 
at Alphen, together with the Messrs. Banker and van der Meulen, 
appeared before the classis [of Amsterdam], and exhibited an in- 
strument from the congregation at Raritan, in the Province of New 
Jersey, by which they were authorized to call a minister for those 
churches. They declared that they had chosen for this purpose 
the Rev. Theodorus Jacobus Frielinghuysen, formerly minister at 
Lochimer Voorwerk, in East Friesland, now co-rector at Enck- 
huyzen; with the request that the classis would please to approve 
this call, and ordain him to the sacred ministry. Whereupon the 
Rev. Frielinghuysen, having come within, declared that he accepted

SCHUREMANS OF NEW JERSEY 3 

said call in the fear of the Lord. He handed in at the same time 
an excellent testimonial from the Coetus of Embden. The Classis, 
having taken all things into consideration, approved the call, and 
ordained him to the sacred ministry." The Synod of North Hoi" 
land, under date of 17 19, July-Aug., made this note: "Sent to 
Raritan in the Province of New Jersey: Rev. Jacobus Theodorus 
van Frylinghuysen." [The family name appears as above.] Fre- 
linghuysen, at the Raritan, was accused of teaching false doctrine. 
He, to show what his teachings were, published three sermons, with 
a preface dated New York, June 25, 172 1. These sermons were 
indorsed by Guiliam Bartholf and Bernardus Freeman. Rev. 
Henricus Boel, under date of July 21, 1721, made a statement in 
writing that Capt. Jacob Goelet had related to him and his brother, 
that Rev. Frilinghuysen, and Schuurman also, while on the voyage, 
said that most of the preachers in Holland were unregenerate men; 
and that Schuurman held forth to that effect to Boel and to Boel's 
brother [who was a lawyer]. The enemies of Frelinghuysen, in 
1725, complained that he upheld Schuurman, who was teaching 
that the unregenerate should not use the Lord's prayer. Rev. 
Bernardus Freeman was reported to have said uncomplimentary 
things of Schuurman: ex. gr., that if Frelinghuysen had not brought 
that '^ ezeV [meaning an animal with pendulous ears and potential 
voice] with him, matters would never have come to this, neither 
would there have been any trouble nor quarrelling. Peace articles 
were agreed upon, November 18, 1733, and were read from the 
Raritan pulpits in January, 1734. The pastor and elders reported, 
July 8, 1735, to the Classis of Amsterdam. In the minutes of the 
Classis of Amsterdam is a note of the Acts of the Coetus, New York, 
Apl. 26, 1748. Elder Hendrik Fisher, of New Brunswick, present. 
He read a letter from the Consistory at New Brunswick, urging 
the examination of Leydt, in order that their congregation, which 
was vacant, might employ him as a candidate.*

2 2, 1824; married Eleanor Williamson. He allowed his name to be 
Anglicized in its spelling, but retained the Dutch pronunciation, 
which would be nearly expressed by Sskureman. 

His son John [43] was much depressed, and distrustful of himself, 
and to reassure him, he wrote to him from the " City of Washing- 
ton, Feb'y 4th, 1801," as follows: " Dear Son. The depression of 
mind which you have depicted in yours of the 25th ult. gives me 
real concern. . . . ' The call should be rational, clear, and 
come from a source of authority.' It need not be miraculous. In- 
ternal evidence rests on feeling, not reason. Enthusiasm says it 
exists, I will not contradict it, faith in its existence may support the 
weak. That a man is called to a particular office by the Director 
of the universe is to be rationally inferred when he has from child- 
hood by instinctive impulse devoted himself to the acquirement, or 
under the direction of his parents has obtained the knowledge of 
those principles of a profession without which it would be impossible 
to exercise it with advantage. As to yourself— You have been re- 
signed up by your parents to Him that gave you, from your infancy, 
to be devoted to His service. You have been instructed by their 
direction in those branches of literature which might qualify you for 
the work. You have been enabled by His grace to pursue these 
studies Avith diligence, and may I not say with pleasure, and to keep 
your mind free from the gross pollutions of the world. You have 
commenced in the profession with respect. You are looked up to 
with expectation by all your friends and acquaintance for progress- 
ing with credit to yourself and advantage to others. You have been 
blessed with talents which place you above contempt and which 
diffidence itself will learn to confide in. Are not all these circum- 
stances combining together grounds for the rational conclusion that 
you have a Providential call? Would it not be presumptions to re- 
ject it. AVhat then does this ' darkness, this absence of evidence, 
which gives you painful apprehension,' consist in? Is it the want 
of a miraculous internal conviction, which is not deduced from ex- 
ternal circumstances? Is not that conviction which arises from 
rational conclusions, drawn from considerations such as I have 
mentioned, and more could be added, as persuasive, as forcible, 
and as obligatory as any you can expect to arrive at? Is it not such 
a conviction as God in His providence usually bestows, and on 
which he intends His creatures should act? But reverse the argu- 
ment. If after these resignations and cares on the part of your 
parents, after this painful diligence on your part, after these expec- 



SCHUREMANS OF NEW JERSEY 5 

tations from the pious people of God, with such gifts as nature has 
bestowed, and industry has acquired, you should doubt, where is 
the evidence on which you can retract? Have you a call to return 
to the business of the world? Surely your Master bids you say. No. 
A tear of compassion flows down my cheek, and makes the paper 
too wet to write on. God give you that assurance which reason is 
too weak to point at. Consult your friends, open your heart to Mr. 
Condict [Rev. Ira]. In the communion of friends there will be 
consolation, if there is no complete relief." 

An other letter — one on the subject of politics — is in the possession 
of the compiler, through the kindness of Miss Harriet Josephine 
Schureman [530], which shows his distrust of Thomas Jefferson, 
and of the " Republicans" of that period. It was written to his 
son David, February 16, 1801, and reads as follows: " I have just 
now handed in my resignation and shall leave the Senate chamber 
in half an hour. I have taken a seat in to-morrow's morning stage. 
. . . The votes for President are the same as heretofore." [The 
meaning was that the formal announcement of votes corresponded 
with the figures reported at the close of the Presidential election.] 

He thought that the War of 1812 was an unnecessary one. This 
is shown by a letter to his wife, which is as follows: 

" N°. 36. Washington, Sunday, 19th Feby 1S15 

" My dear Eleanor 

" I count every day with great solicitude that separates me from 
my beloved. It will add to the pleasure of our meeting, if God 
permits it, that we shall meet with His blessing of peace on our 
country. I yesterday sent a paper to David containing the treaty. 
It is of God's mercy that our enemies, after a contest unprofitable 
to both sides, and the wanton, unnecessary effusion of human blood, 
have consented to end the quarrel, and leave us as we were when 
we began. Our Democrats in their public speeches call it a glori- 
ous war and an honorable peace. They make a great noise now 
that they have got out of the woods, but it is plainly perceivable that 
they feel pangs of conscience for the evils they have entailed on 
their country, without acquiring for it one solitary good. An over- 
ruling Providence may bring good out of evil, but experience, that 
one side may declare war, but that the consent of two parties can 
only make peace, will in future correct the angry passions of party 
men and make them cautious of again getting into such a scrape.

On the other side, the disappointment of the English Government 
will learn them to respect us as a nation and make them forbear 
from injurious treatment. 

l8. Elizabeth Schuerman: born August 2, 1761; died September 
15, 1831; married, November 4, 1781, David Nevius. The fire that 
consumed his house, and destroyed church records, occurred Feb- 
ruary 17, 1799. 

Nevius was descended from Rev. Johannes Neef, or Neefifius, or 
Nevius, of Amsterdam, born about 1594, who became pastor, June 
13, 1619, at Zoelen, South Guelderland, and, while such pastor, 
married, July 25, 1625, Maria Becx, maiden, of Cologne. 

Their first child was Johannes, baptized March 14, 1627; died 
about May, 1672; married, November 18, 1653, Adriaentje Bleijck, 

from Batavia, E. I., daughter of Bleijck and Swartje Jans, the 

latter having become the wife of Cornelius de Potter. Potter re- 
moved to New Netherlands about 1650-51 ; and he was a baptismal 
witness, March 3, 1652, at Manhattoes, which became New Amster- 
dam in 1653. In 1670 he was ferrymaster, and lived on the 
Brooklyn side of the ferry. 

Petrus, 6th child of Johannes and Adriaentje, was baptized Feb- 
ruary 4, 1663, New Amsterdam; died April 29, 1740; married, June 
22, 1684, Janetje Roelofse Schenck, daughter of Roelof Martinse 
and Neeltje Gerritse (Van Couwenhoven) Schenck. He lived at 
Flatlands, L. I. 

Pieter, 6th child of Petrus and Janetje, was born July 28, 1695; 
died September 16, 1768; married, March 26 or 30, 1717, Brooklyn, 
N. Y., Altje Ten Eyck, daughter of Tobias and Elizabeth (Hege- 
man) Ten Eyck. He lived at Marlborough, N. J.; afterwards at 
Blawenburgh. 

Petrus, ist child of Pieter and Altje, was born July 31, 1718; died 
December 2, 1793; married, before May 24, 1744, Johanna Stoot- 
hoff, daughter of Petrus. He was of Middlebush, N. J. 

David, 4th and youngest child of Petrus and Johanna Stoothoff, 
was born June 2, 1758; died March 12, 1825; married Elizabeth 
Schuerman, as above.* 

43. John Schureman, Rev. Dr., 1778-1818. He pursued theo- 
logical studies, 1 795-1 799, at Schenectady, under Rev. Dr. Dirck 
Romeyn, and was an inmate of his house. Perhaps there was a

break in his studies, because of his delicate health. He was licensed 
by the Classis of Albany, September 4, 1799. 

It has been assumed usually that Dr. Schureman's theological 
studies were prosecuted in New York, under the Rev. Dr. John 
Livingston; but this is negatived by two letters, which are in the 
possession of the compiler. The first is to him from his father, 
dated "Brunswick, Nov' 2, 1795," and addressed to him "at Dr. 
Romaine's, Schenectada," in which it is said: "On my return from 
Albany T found my friends and your friends well, and particularly 
solicitous about you and how you were disposed of. Relying on 
your discretion your mother submits to a temporary separation with 
resignation tho not without a sigh. . . . Devote yourself to 
your studies. If your situation in the Doctor's family is not easy 
use a becoming freedom to declare it and avail yourself of our con- 
tract to exchange your board — yet not on light grounds. 
If your companion [Conrad Ten Eyck?] is unreasonably overbear- 
ing, let not meekness degenerate into dependance. " 

The second letter is from John to his mother, and is dated 
" Schenectady, April 7, 1799." In this letter he wrote as follows: 
" . . . It is now more than four weeks since I left you. . . 
The progress that is made in my studies is not equal to what I could 
desire. My dear mamma, I sometimes groan under heavy discourage- 
ments. Under an impression of the solemnity and importance of 
that office to which I aspire, and a sense of my weakness and un- 
worthiness, my spirits fail, and my judgment reproves me." 

This distrust of himself continued, and in answer to a letter in 
the same vein his father wrote to him in February, 1801, in expos- 
tulation and encouragement. The letter will be found under James 

[16]. 

The likeness of him here given is from a portrait that hangs in 
Kirkpatrick Chapel, Rutgers College. A portrait taken at an earlier 
age hangs in the parlor of the Collegiate Dutch Church, New York, 
corner of 5th Avenue and 49th Street.

A Scureman shield Avas in existence as long ago as the year 1300 
A.D. It was of Norman shape, argetit, parti per pale: i. e., it was 
of silver, or white, of oval shape, and divided by a vertical line 
through the middle. 

This description is evolved from the description, actually found, 
of the shield of Hermann Scuremann, which had a device of a 
cadency, descent, or difference, called a label, consisting of a hori- 
zontal fillet in chief, with pendant points; that is, it had a bar with 
pendants, in the upper part of the shield. This device shows that 
Hermann was the eldest son. Upon the death of his father, he 
would drop the label and his own eldest son would assume it. 

This shield was of Scheuren, near Dortmund, Arnsberg, West- 
phalia, Germany, and Hermann's liege was the Count of Arnsberg.*

Latin subscription to her likeness may be translated:
